Variety reports that the one-man show will officially open July 11, playing a limited engagement through Aug. 7. Richard Wilson, who directed the London production, will helm the Broadway run as well. Co-producers are Bill Kenwright and Thelma Holt.

Primo was a hit last fall at the National's Cottesloe Theatre, subsequently playing Cape Town, South Africa, before returning to London at the Hampstead Theatre.
